Duaner Sanchez is out for the year with a separated pitching shoulder

In a stunning development that could affect the Mets’ postseason chances, right-handed setup man Duaner Sanchez is out for the year with a separated pitching shoulder, FOXSports.com has learned.

Sanchez, 26, apparently was injured while riding as a passenger in a taxicab that was involved in a car accident Sunday night after the Mets landed in Miami. He returned to New York to undergo surgery on Monday.

Sanchez has been an integral part of the Mets’ bullpen since arriving in a trade from the Dodgers for right-hander Jae Seo last off-season. In 49 appearances this season, he is 5-1 with a 2.60 ERA, and opposing hitters are batting only .223 against him. - Fox Sports

Carlos Beltran = MVP

- 1st player since Devon White (May ‘01) to hit 3 Grand Slams in 1 month

- 4th Player this season with consecutives multi-HR games (1st Met since ‘85 Gary Carter)

- Sets Mets record for HR by center fielder (Mike Cameron - 30 in 04′)

…John Kruk on Basbeall Tonight… “I’ll tell you what Karl. This guy is just phenomenal…but what he did coming in to this series was the Braves were on a roll. They were hot. And here comes everyone in the media…around baseball saying..here comes the Braves…don’t count them out. But Carlos Beltran..he took a personal dislkiing to the fact that the Braves were coming on their heels and he decided to do something about it…

6 for 15, 4HRs, 12 RBI’s in a 3 game series…

….they finally get a closer in Bob Wickman…Danny Baez… and think they’re going to make a run…and then Mr. Beltran just says you know what, go get anyone you want, because I’m I’m putting an end to this division right now with a statement…that was a huge statement!..going into Atlanta and sweeping 3 games!”
